Review summary

Reviewers largely praise the hardware’s reliability and the potential of Flic for automation (webhooks, IFTTT, and Alexa routines). However, many repeat issues about unstable connections, limited integrations with major ecosystems, an outdated app experience with login/pairing hurdles, battery maintenance challenges, and occasionally poor customer support. The top positives center on dependable buttons and powerful automation, while the recurring negatives highlight reliability, ecosystem limits, and maintenance gaps.

Pros

Reliable hardware: the physical buttons and Twist are described as dependable over years.
Strong automation options: supports webhooks, IFTTT, Zapier, and workflows (e.g., with n8n) for flexible automation.
Alexa routines integration: praised as a game changer for voice-driven controls.
Positive sentiment from long-time users: many view Flic as a reliable, underrated product.

Cons

Frequent connectivity issues: devices disconnect or fail to pair regularly.
Limited ecosystem integrations: missing Google Home, Govee, Home Assistant, SmartThings; slow to add new devices/gateways (IKEA, Matter).
App maintenance and login friction: outdated app feel, login requirements, and onboarding/pairing guidance gaps.
Battery replacement difficulty: hard or unclear how to change batteries.
Customer support concerns: perceived poor responsiveness and help.

2026-06-02	Vi*****	I wish I read more comments and forum before I bought the buttons. The buttons keep disconnecting all the time and require to open the app to reconnect. The hub is not an option to me, the plan was to attach the button to my bicycle to open garage doors and act as a single long range command with my phone. If I have to open my phone, a simple shortcut to Home Assistant automation will be faster than opening Flic app, wait for the button to reconnect, click the button.

2026-03-28	Ma*****	this app is not open at all to all other apps (closed app on Android)... in the App, they are not open to develop anything for you... for ex : try to use the Flic 2 on an app to increase and decrease a volleyball Scoreboard... the existing app in the Playstore will not accept the Flic 2 at all by default or any other solutions...
